Fall Getaway Day 4-- to Bayfield again and beyond

We headed North to the Bayfield peninsula again. We wanted to see an old fishery. This was the only day of our trip that was cold and very windy. It was easy to imagine what a harsh life the fishermen had. The Hokenson brothers were failed farmers that spent 30 years making their living here on Little Sand Bay. They harvested ice in the winter and fish in the summer. There are very few fisheries on Lake Superior that have been maintained, so this was a great peek into history.

The boys had to time their travels just right. The waves were washing up over the dock. We could see why they had built walls for protection.

I loved this house in Bayfield.

The view from our hotel room. The AmericInn in Ashland. It was just a basic hotel room, but the view was fabulous. I couldn't help myself and took a ton of pictures. We could see the lights of Washburn and Bayfield and the lighthouse and breakwater. Not bad for around $60 per night.
